Julie Scarle: Sports for all? We’re not at the finish line yet!
WHO can forget the summer of 2012 and our Paralympic gold medallists, ‘Hurricane’ Hannah Cockroft, Dame Sarah Storey and local hero Richard Whitehead, who put disability sport on the map and are now household names?
With just more than a month to go until the Winter Paralympics gets under way in Sochi, I sincerely hope the public will put the controversy surrounding the games to one side and get behind our winter medal hopefuls in wheelchair curling and the brilliant but brutal ice sledge hockey.

Donated human eye cells could help restore vision
Cells from eyes of dead 'may give sight to blind'," BBC News reports. This gruesome sounding news is based on a study that found that after being grown in the lab, a type of cell found in the retina could restore limited vision in rats. However, the research was carried out in rats genetically engineered to develop visual impairment, so it's not something that will be used to treat people any time soon.
